None of that helps you to figure out your aggro, but it will atleast help you tell the difference between being trolled and needing more aggro combo.
On a semi related note, theres a few bosses Im used to the tank dying to certain mechanics, be it their own fault, or the healers, or some other combination. (Such as Machi, where the boss takes a tank to 1hp, and on a rare occasion will auto attack at the same moment, where a perfectly timed insta heal wont save them, and only invulns can keep the tank alive. The boss does this 3 times, which is enough for each tank to invuln through it. Of course a pug isnt going to tank swap invuln.)

So I'll provoke roughly near the mechanic, where i know the boss is casting, so the MT can still hold hate, as I continue to DPS as an OT.
They go down, and I'm practically where they were in threat.
Though some tanks view it as an attempt to MT mid fight, while they are still tanking.
